It's election season, time for political junkies everywhere to hunker down with friends and family in front of the tube and listen to the candidates trade barbs and sound bites in hopes of winning viewers' votes.
Aurora Provisions in Portland makes a statement with sugar cookies it will be offering during election season. Several local bakeries also are making voting-themed treats.

HERE'S A LOOK at what some Maine candidates like to chow down on:
• Angus King: Pulled pork sandwich, egg salad sandwich and blueberries on anything, but especially cereal.
• Cynthia Dill: "I live on a Mediterranean diet of olive oil, garlic, cheese, pasta, fish, salad, crusty bread and wine."
• Charlie Summers: Anything from Rapid Ray's in Saco.
• Chellie Pingree: "It's hard to beat a Maine lobster roll."
• Jon Courtney: Rep. Joan Nass' cole slaw.
THURSDAY: Vice Presidential debate on foreign and domestic policy
TUESDAY: Presidential debate; town meeting format including foreign and domestic policy
OCT. 22: Presidential debate on foreign policy
ELECTION DAY: Nov. 6
Then, on Election Day, there are hours of return-watching, and all the talk about jobs and deficits is bound to make you hungry. So why not throw an election party and feed your friends while you argue over who's got the best plan for solving the housing crisis?
I've gathered some ideas for what to serve on debate- and election-night parties, including information on what election-themed goodies local businesses will be offering over the next few weeks.
Don't forget to vote!
Let's start with a little stew of ideas that could get your brain cells cooking up a menu:
• Sloppy Joes in honor of Vice President Joe Biden, who is known for his mouth getting him into trouble.
• A pitcher of Kool-Aid, as in "You've really drunk the Kool-Aid, haven't you?"
• Pulled pork in honor of any member of Congress who has ever accepted federal funding for their state that was really unnecessary, while at the same time complaining about too much spending. In other words, any of them.
• How about a drinking game where you take a shot every time Obama says "Make no mistake " or "Let me be clear " Two shots for "It won't happen overnight."
• Romney doesn't drink alcohol or caffeine but he loves chocolate milk (wait, doesn't chocolate have caffeine)? Take a shot of chocolate milk every time he refers to his family. Two shots every time he says he won't cut the taxes of the 1 percent.
Cast a vote for cuteness with adorable little donkey and elephant truffles from Moonstruck Chocolate Co.'s "Election Collection."
Moonstruck, a Seattle company, sells the dark chocolate ganache critters by the four-pack or by the dozen at moonstruckchocolate.com.
You can buy them right here in town, too, at LeRoux Kitchen, 161 Commercial St., where they're being sold individually for $3.25 each.
Good Eats Boutique, 463 Stevens Ave., will be selling Democrat and Republican cookies in the shape of donkeys and elephants wearing colored neckties. Each animal sports a D or R on its body as well.
Don't be obvious and buy only the cookie of the party you support. Wouldn't you like to bite the head off your opponent?
Independents, you're on your own. Maybe somewhere out there a baker is selling a lone wolf cookie.
Good Eats will also be selling cake pops in the colors of each party, and striped colored cupcakes in the party colors.
Jill Dewitt, owner of the shop, says all the treats will be available beginning the week of Oct. 22.
East End Cupcakes, 426 Fore St., is taking orders for patriotic cupcakes topped with fondant donkeys and elephants, and will be selling them on Election Day.
A couple of local bakeries aren't making anything special for election season, but do plan to reward their customers for voting on Election Day. Pop into Bam Bam Bakery at 267 Commercial St. wearing your "I voted" sticker, and you'll get a free cookie.
At Bakery on the Hill, 253 Congress St., your "I voted" sticker will score you a free election-themed cupcake.
Doesn't a whoopie pie poll sound so much better than a straw poll?
Cranberry Island Kitchen in Portland has been selling elephant and donkey whoopie pies ($35.95 for a dozen) and keeping track of which ones are more popular in its own little poll.

20 Questions With Larry Trimbach, President 2J Supply Company
Originally published: 05.01.07 by Terry Tanker
Larry Trimbach, a second-generation hvacr distributor with 2J Supply Co., recently spent a morning with publisher Terry Tanker discussing rock 'n' roll, expansion and growth, contractors, health-care costs, business strategies and more.
1. Who is your favorite musician?
Bob Dylan.
2. Who do you consider the best rock band of all time?
The Who.
3. Have you seen them in concert?
Absolutely, but it's been a while. The last time was in the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium with 90,000 other fans.
4. Have you been to the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland?
Oh yes. It's very interactive. I highly recommend going.
5. What current projects are you involved in that are helping reshape your business?
We are very much involved in the Blue Hawk buying co-op. It's helping us buy better and lowering our costs.
6. When did you join 2J Supply Co.?
I joined my dad and brother in 1984 after working in the restaurant industry for eight years. We had about 10 employees and $1 million in sales. We now have nearly 100 employees and $33 million in sales.
7. What is the best new idea you've implemented in the past year?
Getting back to distribution basics. Give the customer what they want at the right price, on time. We've had focus-group meetings with customers and prospects to find out what they liked and didn't like. They want to be part of the process, and their opinion counts.
8. What are the top contractors doing right now to be successful?
First, they are focusing on selling comfort. They understand they can't just do a 15-minute pitch and leave the literature. There needs to be a more thorough sales process. They are concentrating on becoming better salesmen. Consumers are better buyers, so contractors need to improve their sales techniques. Finally, successful contractors are consistent with their follow up and follow through.
9. What has been your key to expansion and growth?
We had relationships with smaller companies in markets that we wanted to expand into. Those relationships worked in our favor, and we were in the right place at the right time.
10. Are there advantages to being a regional distributor versus national distributor?
The advantage to being national is access to products you didn't have before. However, there is still room for strong regional players that know their markets and leverage their relationships. In most cases they are family-owned businesses, and they understand their reach in the market.
11. Has Internet purchasing at 2J internally and externally increased in the past year?
Yes. Through Blue Hawk we've been buying more on the Internet, and there is a portion of our customer base that is doing a better job buying from us. However, they tend to be the contractors who can forecast their business. Many others are just not in that position.
12. How are you handling the escalating cost of health care for your employees?
We are moving from a traditional plan to a Health Savings Account Plan (HSA). The HSA puts the control of the program into the hands of the employee. The money is pretax and goes with them if they leave the company. We are implementing a wellness program as well, where employees can receive a health assessment and are assigned a health coach to help them with things like weight loss, smoking, and overall fitness.
13. What are the top concerns for the next three years?
Finding and retaining qualified people is one of our largest concerns. We aren't competing against other wholesalers; we're competing against all of the other companies of our size. Pressure on margins is another. Our challenge is to buy better and lower our cost.
14. What new strategies are you employing to recruit?
For the first time we hired a person directly from a local university. We are going on campus to recruit. Our employees receive a bonus if we hire someone they bring to our attention. The real key is to always be hiring. Our company is always looking, always active.
15. What new techniques are you employing to help drive sales?
We are better at segmenting our business now. We have sales managers who are singularly focused on Maytag and Westinghouse equipment lines.
16. What growth potential do you see for contractors in residential Indoor Air Quality?
IAQ is a great opportunity, but I don't think many small to medium-size contractors have been able to take advantage of it yet. In many cases they are still trying to understand their overhead, maintenance contracts, meeting payroll and other basic business principals, and IAQ represents another business challenge for them.
17. What types of marketing do you do at 2J?
Over the years we've done just about every type of marketing you can think of from classic car giveaways to Super Bowl weekends. We've been guilty of over marketing. Recently we've been conducting more focus groups to determine what is best for our customers.
18. Is there a program or technique that has worked consistently for you over the years?
We've found repeating programs can get stale with our customers, so changing the mix works best for us.
19. Do you help contractors with their marketing?
We're trying to help them concentrate on being better salesmen. We offer classes and training. We want them to have a better sales process, better follow up, and follow through.
20. What other tools do they need?
Being in business is extremely difficult, but it's not complicated. This trade is full of contractors who are fantastic installers or service techs and then open their own companies. Most often they just don't understand what it takes to be a good businessperson. I think your magazine, HVACR Business, is a tremendous help to them.

Common Sense
Common sense – it's simply knowing the difference between right and wrong. It entails a personal and subjective process of analyzing a situation and finding a solution that works. For most people I think it's their first instinct, the rational thing they would do without giving the situation a thought. Again, I said for most people.

Week in review: New law allows testing of driverless cars; Duggan picks cabinet members; ForeSee acquired
Crain's week in news, Dec. 21-27
Courtesy of Push 22 Public Relations
The future finished main entrance of Cedarbrook of Bloomfield Hills is shown in a rendering.
Snyder signs driverless car testing law
Gov. Rick Snyder signed the long-called-for automated motor vehicle legislation, allowing for manufacturers to test driverless cars on Michigan roads.
Signed by Snyder on Dec. 27, the two bills, SB 169 and SB 663, passed the Michigan Senate earlier this month. SB 169 allows automakers, suppliers and upfitters to test the technology on public roads, but regulations state that a human must be in the driver's seat during testing to intervene, if necessary. SB 663, a companion bill, provides liability protection for automakers from civil suits caused by defective technology from suppliers.
Michigan joins California, Nevada, Florida and Washington, D.C., in passing driverless car legislation. Eight other states have been debating similar bills.
On the move
• Detroit Mayor-elect Mike Duggan nominated Melvin "Butch" Hollowell, 54, as the city's next corporation counsel, replacing Portia Roberson, 44, whom he nominated to lead the city's new Civil Rights and Justice Division. Chuck Raimi, 62, was nominated as deputy corporation counsel. Duggan also nominated Second Deputy Fire Commissioner Jonathan Jackson, 44, as interim fire commissioner; that appointment would have to be approved by the Detroit City Council under the rules of the city charter.
Company news
• A $40 million continuing care retirement community, Cedarbrook of Bloomfield Hills, is scheduled to open in September 2015 after groundbreaking earlier this month on Woodward Avenue north of Opdyke Road, said Michael J. Damone, president of Cedarbrook Senior Living LLC. Damone selected Daniel Tosch from Bloomfield Hills-based Progressive Associates Inc. as the project's architect.
• Ann Arbor-based United Bancorp Inc. said it bought back all of the remaining 10,300 shares of preferred stock issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Other news
• The city of Detroit reached a new settlement in its bid to terminate interest rate swap contracts with UBS AG and Bank of America Corp. Under the agreement presented to Gerald Rosen, chief district judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and lead mediator in the bankruptcy, the banks will allow the city to terminate its contracts for $165 million, a 43 percent discount. Rhodes is to review the deal and the post-petition financing at a hearing Jan. 3.
• State and Detroit officials selected a seven-member advisory committee to offer guidance about Belle Isle, Michigan's new state park. The panel will be chaired by Michele Hodges, president of the Belle Isle Conservancy, The Associated Press reported. Belle Isle is owned by Detroit but will be run by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources starting in February. The committee will keep an eye on park improvements and public safety.
• A new study by St. Louis, Mo.-based United Van Lines indicates that migration out of Michigan has finally slowed to a virtual halt. Michigan was about evenly balanced between inbound and outbound moves. The state had 16 straight years of outbound migration and was tops in outbound moves from 2006 through 2009.
• Michigan residents are expected to be among the biggest beneficiaries of a $100 million settlement with a Framingham, Mass.-based pharmacy company, New England Compounding Center, linked to a nationwide outbreak of fungal meningitis causes by tainted steroid injections. Authorities say 22 of the 64 people who died in the outbreak were from Michigan.
• Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law a campaign finance bill that will continue to keep secret the names of donors who pay for issue ads. He also signed a five-bill package that creates criminal penalties for attaching high-tech "skimmer" devices to ATMs to record debit-card information, the AP reported.
• Harold R. Varner, whose architecture company, Varner & Associates, designed the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, among other metro Detroit buildings, died Dec. 14. He was 78.

The FCC's chairman says the agency won't challenge a federal appeals court decision to throw out its Open Internet rules and will instead take another crack at writing new regulations.
President and CEO of the National Association of Broadcasters Gordon Smith takes the FCC to task for its policies he said favor broadband over the broadcast industry. And he called on the Commission to come up with a National Broadcast Plan.
Tom Wheeler says he has a plan to make sure TV broadcasters survive and flourish in the new broadband future. But broadcasters are skeptical about its implementation.
The FCC voted to free up an additional 100MHz of wireless spectrum for unlicensed use in a move that will help alleviate congestion on Wi-Fi networks and pave the way for faster-speed service.
The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission says the agency only has one chance to get this auction right, and so he has decided to postpone it.
commentary The FCC, with a new chairman and a full complement of commissioners now on board, needs to act with dispatch to adapt its regulations to the new marketplace realities of the digital age.
The U.S. agency that regulates the nation's communications networks said it will seek public comment on a proposal that will allow people to make phone calls and use mobile data in-flight.
Sprint Chairman Masayoshi Son and CEO Dan Hesse will likely continue their attempts to sell regulators on a deal with T-Mobile.
In the third largest corporate acquisition in history, Verizon will purchase Vodafone's stake in Verizon Wireless for $130 billion and achieve 100 percent ownership of the network.
The government agency looks to open up the airwaves by allowing for civilians to hop on spectrum currently reserved for the Defense Department.

Duncan Macrae, 1905 - 1967. Actor (As Harry McGog) 1949
On Display PORTRAIT GALLERY
- Scottish Art
Macrae's first stint in pantomime drew criticism from many reviewers who accused him of abandoning his roots in 'legitimate' theatre. Although he had entered the world of variety entertainment, Macrae was able to switch effortlessly between dramatic and laugh-a-minute roles. He was described as a comedian of "remarkable parts"; his craggy features and gaunt and gawky frame initially drew comparisons to Tommy Lorne. His talent was indisputable but fellow performers often remarked on his annoying habit of cutting across lines with an ad lib. Macrae reached a wider audience with his television roles in 'Para Handy' and his Hogmanay performance of the song 'The Wee Cock Sparra'. Here Macrae is depicted as the philosopher-poet Harry Magog, the hero of James Bridie's play 'Gog and Magog'.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I really like the looks of this card and the paper was great. The back is design is by far the best I have seen and I like mostly for that. Though, the respondence card was not printed very well. Where it says kindly, you can hardly see the 'k' because of how it is written to go off the card."
"I am so pleased with how these invitations turned out! Our pictures were vintagey, so I opted to make the Date a more script font. I also liked the look of the black Date in contrast with the white info sections on the outsides. The quality was excellent. I love the feel of the cardstock and both font and photos turned out crisp. One note though, the proof that I approved before they printed did not match the actual product I was sent. I only noticed this because in the original one I created/approved, I made a point to let my ring show in-between my name and the word "and". This wasn't the case with the invitations that were delivered. Once I noticed this I noticed several other things had changed with the formatting (spacing between lines, font size). But honestly the formatting flowed even better than it had when I had initially created/approved it, so I'm not complaining. Overall, these turned out absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend them!"
"I am so glad that I chose these for my invitations, I am very pleased with the quality and my order came right on time. The designer had wonderful suggestions and I completely trusted everything they said."
"Really happy with this invitation, just what we wanted. Simply but eye-catching. Picture we used was black and white, so the white font really stood out."
"Everyone was completely blown away by how beautiful this invitation was. We requested some of the font to be dark pink and it was perfect. We also chose the pearl finish and it took the invite from beautiful to breathtaking!!! I will suggest Wedding Paper Divas to everyone I know! Thank you for making me so proud of the invites for my wedding!"

Benson Area Chamber of CommerceMessage from the 2013 Chamber President- Kim Hinson
I am excited about my year as President of the Benson Area Chamber of Commerce. Although not my original home, Benson has become a very special place to me since I moved here in 2005. I was immediately struck by how similar it was to Louisburg, where I grew up. The people were the same warm, friendly types that I had known as a child, and I soon realized how much I had missed the small-town atmosphere while living in cities such as Raleigh, Fort Lauderdale, and New Orleans. The Chamber had a lot to do with the welcoming atmosphere I felt, and this warmth is what led to my choice of this year's theme: Embracing Our Community.
There are so many ways in which we can embrace our community. One of these you are already very good at – welcoming newcomers. Another of very great importance is supporting our local businesses. Studies show what when you shop with a local mom and pop store, approximately 51 cents of every dollar spent stays in the community, as opposed to only 13 cents when shopping at a big box store. I am always struck by how busy downtown Benson is, and I urge you to continue your support of these local businesses to keep downtown Benson vibrant. But our community extends beyond downtown, and is currently experiencing some welcome growth. In addition, we have Chamber members from other surrounding areas whom we should not forget. Get to know these members as well, and show them your support.
I also urge those of you who have some precious free time during the week to show your support to our Chamber staff, which works so very hard to support us. Go by the office and volunteer to spend an hour or two answering the phone, so that Loretta can get out more often to visit our members. She and Evelyn are two of the hardest-working women I know, and they need your help in keeping the office functioning. It truly is a job that requires more than two people, and your help would be more appreciated than you can imagine.
2013 is going to be great. There will be new businesses opening in town and lots of fun things to do all year. Please remember how hard your Chamber staff works to make each year memorable, and embrace them by volunteering at the office and at the various Chamber-sponsored events. Take part in the Business Expo or lend a much-needed hand during Mule Days. Consider joining one of our committees, such as the Ambassadors or Main Street. Come and network at the ribbon cuttings, member-to-member breakfasts, and business after hours events, or consider sponsoring an event for even more exposure. Remember, the best way to promote your business through the Chamber is to become involved. It is my experience that you get back so much more than you are asked to give. I am very happy to call this area my home, and I look forward to sharing that same welcoming warmth to others during 2013 as we continue to embrace our community.

OK, let me get this straight. A production company wants to film a story regarding a wealthy woman who moves from the east to a historic mining town (Telluride) and falls in love with a handsome lawman. For this filming, they want to create a temporary set on the Idarado tailings pile and have agreed to remove it until the Hallmark Channel makes a decision as to whether or not to extend the series. The pilot and series will give the town of Telluride unbelievable exposure to everyone in the U.S. and, perhaps worldwide, and will have a positive financial impact on the town and surrounding area. What is not to like?
Unfortunately, many Telluride residents never took Business 101. They have depended on the good fortunes of their forbears which gives them a latitude of flexibility in their opinions based on what is good for the Panacea know as Telluride and how to protect its pristine beauty and the joy we all experience as "owners" in the community.
Wake up! We need a vibrant economy to keep Telluride the city as we know and love it. Personally, there is no way in hell I would open a business here because of all of the "odd" characters that will be involved in decisions that affect the success or demise of that business. Fortunately, we have people running businesses in our community for which the "profit" motive is not number one on their list. I suggest that we do something unusual, we become supportive of our businesses and, instead of judging any opportunity on a basis of what is good for "ME", we judge it on the basis of what is in the long term interest of the business community of Telluride.
Remember, the business community is at the core of the survival of any city or municipality.
– Jon Nelson, Telluride

Photo by Daniel Kucin. Douglass's D'sean Cummings and Malcolm McCoy take down Crossland quaterback Jaquel Felder.
Published on: Friday, October 12, 2012
By Daniel Kucin
The Crossland football program has ups and downs this season — but mostly downs.
However, the Cavilers are a team comprised of only four seniors. They didn't even have enough players to field a junior varsity team this year, so youth and mistakes go hand in hand.
Boasting a four-win record, the Douglass Eagles handled their business and ran through Crossland 54-0 on Friday.
Miscommunication and lack of experience did not bode well for Crossland's defense. However, Douglass saw little action from dynamic wide receiver Paul Harris other than his only catch of the game — for a 32-yard touchdown.
Photo by Daniel Kucin. Douglass's Avery Wood rushes for a huge gain.
There was no need for a passing game with Douglass's rushing core: D'Ondre MacKey, Avery Wood, Aaron Johson, and Mikale Makle.
"I figured that we were gonna have a good game on the ground… the guys were really geeked up for it, and we had a really good week of practice," said Douglass head coach JC Pinkney. "The guys were really excited, and we wanted to have a good showing. And I wanted to have the guys get an opportunity to play…. I'm really proud of my guys."
MacKey led the charge on only three carries with 114 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Douglass usually runs the offense primarily through Kenneth Freeman and multiple running backs who get touches each game, but Friday was Mackey's day and only had four carries to his name all season.
"I had faith in my offensive line…. They had a good team and they put out a good effort," MacKey said. "We have a good running back core back there, so all of us get the ball and get the job done."
Douglass's ground-and-pound offensive philosophy was just too much for Crossland to handle — accounting for six of the team's total touchdowns and 259 yards rushing overall.
Crossland's hopes for a playoff appearance are slim, but anything can happen in this division. They now sit with a 3-3 record. Crossland will face the Surrattsville Hornets (4-2) at home Saturday. The Hornets are coming off a tough loss against Potomac.
Douglass, on the other hand, is flying high, riding on a three-win streak. With a 5-1 record, Douglass is in a tie with Gwynn Park for first place in the 3A/2A/1A division. On Saturday, the Eagles face Forestville, which is looking to avenge its 22-point loss at the hands of Friendly last week.
"We watched Forestville, and they are a team that will bring their A-game every time we see them," Pinkney said. "We don't expect anything less of a Charles Harley coached team…. I'm sure Forestville is going to give us a lot of competition, and they are going to give us a really good game."

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
- For Outgoing Lawmakers, Connections Mean Chance to Cash In December 26, 2012 6:01 AM
It's that time of the year where retiring members of Congress or those who were forced out by voters begin looking for jobs elsewhere -- such as K Street. Making the jump from lawmaker to lobbyist is lucrative. Some members aren't even waiting for their terms to expire.
- Stealthy Super PACs Influenced Primaries Without Disclosing DonorsJuly 2, 2012 11:00 AM
Nine super PACs that collectively spent nearly $1.3 million in recent congressional primaries disclosed just $37,318 in contributions before voters cast their ballots, due to a loophole in Federal Election Commission disclosure rules. Whether the groups gamed the system intentionally or not, the identities of the donors to most of them won't be known till mid-July.
- House Races: First Quarter RevelationsApril 25, 2012 9:54 PM
By spring of each election year, most prospective House candidates have decided whether to jump into the frying pan, and the fundraising race is well under way. The first quarter FEC reports give some clues about how competitive the races are likely to be.
- Blue Dog Fundraising Climbs as Coalition Fights ExtinctionMarch 20, 2012 12:41 PM
Blue Dog Democrats are an endangered species on Capitol Hill, but their fundraising suggests they may be clawing their way back with a little help from Democratic leadership PACs, among others.
- News Companies Popular Investments Among CongressmenJune 15, 2011 8:00 AM
Many members of Congress have a vested interest -- beyond just their political careers -- in the performance of the same organizations that are supposed to be their watchdogs, a Center for Responsive Politics investigation indicates.
- Punxsutawney's Groundhog-Loving Residents Help Spring Politicians' Quest for GreenFebruary 2, 2011 11:49 AM
A watchful nation turned its eyes to Punxsutawney, Pa., this morning to see if Phil, the world's most famous groundhog, would spot his shadow -- a harbinger of early spring or continued winter, according to lore. Perhaps looking for omens of their own electoral success, politicians, too, have turned their gaze on Punxsutawney over the years.
- Nalco, Company Behind Dispersants Used in Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Clean Up, Ratchets Up Politicking in 2010October 27, 2010 6:00 AM
The Illinois-based company that manufactured the dispersants used by BP after the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico spent exponentially more on federal lobbying in the disaster's wake than it has historically.

Recent filings with the Federal Election Commission show Murtha's leadership PAC is still active in donating cash to Democratic campaigns. Majority PAC also cut a notable $10,000 check to the campaign of Mark Critz, Murtha's former district director...
- Blue Dog Democrats Display Stronger Than Average Fund-Raising in 2009February 24, 2010 1:00 PM
Whether it was health care reform, cap and trade climate proposals or financial regulatory reform, Blue Dog Democrats were often at the center of Congress' top legislative fights. This caucus of 54 moderate and conservative House Democrats was also at the center of political fund-raising in 2009, the Center for Responsive Politics has found.
- Blue Dogs and New Democrats Find Friends on Wall StreetNovember 17, 2009 9:45 AM
Like the health care reform debate, financial regulation legislation has divided members of the same party, opening a rift between liberal and moderate Democrats. But unlike the health care reform debate, where the moderate Blue Dog Democrats have been rabid in their opposition to a public insurance option, a different group has emerged to voice moderates' concerns over financial regulation -- but both are magnets for cash from the financial sector.
- Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is OnOctober 16, 2009 5:50 PM
An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
- Health Insurers Continue to Woo Blue Dog Democrats in CongressAugust 20, 2009 2:11 PM
The 52 fiscally conservative House Democrats known as the Blue Dogs and playing prominent roles in the nation's health care reform debate continue to collect campaign funds from health insurers at a greater rate than their non-Blue Dog counterparts, tCRP has found.
- Blue Dog Bark Backed by InsurersJune 25, 2009 5:28 PM
There's a particular breed of lawmaker on Capitol Hill that is pushing hard against a public health care plan, much to the delight of two seriously moneyed special interest groups-insurers and pharmaceuticals. They're the Blue Dogs: moderate, vocal and funded in part by the industries trying to protect their bottom line.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense CommitteesFebruary 12, 2009 1:55 PM
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Lobbying Their Way to CongressNovember 3, 2008 2:42 PM
Unlike members of Congress who have to wait at least a year (two for senators) after retiring from public service to become registered lobbyists, the influence peddlers themselves don't face a cooling-off period if they want to run for Congress. With the help of the Center for Responsive Politics, USA Today has identified 15 current and former lobbyists who hope to be elected to Congress tomorrow, and only six of them are incumbents.
- Races to Watch II: Candidates Supported by Their PartySeptember 25, 2008 12:13 PM
Private interests and members of the public aren't the only ones betting their money on the congressional candidates they hope will win (or retain) congressional seats. Lawmakers in both parties have a vested interest in seeing their own candidates succeed this November, with Democrats wanting to strengthen their majority and Republicans hoping to minimize their losses. Here we look at some of the candidates getting the largest cash infusions from their own parties, indicating a close race.
- Fireworks in the Sky, on the HillJuly 3, 2008 8:35 AM
Considering how Americans celebrate their independence and patriotism with fireworks and sparklers, it's no surprise that our country's politicians often buy fireworks for events on the campaign trail. This is hardly a one-way street, however, as the fireworks industry invests in lawmakers through campaign contributions and lobbying efforts, as well.
- Superdelegate UpdateFebruary 28, 2008 12:30 PM
In an update to Capital Eye's Feb. 14 report, campaign contributions from Obama and Clinton now total nearly $950,000 and have predicted endorsements about 80 percent of the time.
- 2006 Election Analysis: Incumbents Linked to Corruption Lose, but Money Still WinsNovember 8, 2006 2:37 PM
While voters in some states are still waiting to see who will represent them in Congress, one thing is certain: Money was a clear winner in the 2006 elections. Equally clear was voters' concern about corruption in Washington; officeholders tied to scandal lost in disproportionate numbers.

We purchased this product for use in a nursing home. One gentleman with left side paralysis was falling often in the bathroom. We positioned this device in his bathroom and he loves it. It gives him something to hold on to when transferring from wheelchair to toilet and back. The grab bar portion can be repositioned to help him stand up and the pole gives him something to lean against while he gets his pants up and down. I love that it is adjustable for varying ceiling heights. The only thing I don?t like is the plastic sleeve that goes over the tension nut. It is too loose and can be lifted up and turned. It would not be a safe part to grab for stability as it would rotate around the pole. If there were some way to secure this sleeve to the pole that would be ideal. Because it is up high, it has not been and issue, but it could be. Over all this has been a very good product and we will buy this again if someone else in our nursing home needs one.
Bought this pole out of desperation - end of my rope really. My husband has bone cancer and I had to help him on and off the commode and in and out of the tub. No more! This pole has become a lifesaver. It assists him in all bathroom needs without calling me all the time.. He holds on to get dressed also. Great invention and we love it - wouldn't be without it and may purchase another to put beside his chair. Easy to assemble and install, sturdy. Great buy!
This worked perfectly. Our elder person had to temporarily be relocated to another family members home. To avoid having to permanently install grab bars, I purchased this product, Has been in use for several weeks now, no complaints. Love that it is portable, will "break down" fairly easy. If someone takes our elder person to their home for a week or so, it can be taken with them. Great safety item, Highly recommend. It is not bulky looking when in place and does not scream " a handicapped person lives here". Love it.
We purchased this pole to use for the holidays with my parents staying with us. They have not arrived to use it yet, but it seems very sturdy and we were glad it could be installed without drilling the ceiling or floor.
This product was a lifesaver after back surgery. I am purchasing another one for my elderly mother to successfully get in and out of her bathtub. This is the perfect solution for areas that a grab bar attached to a wall will not address.
Exactly what my husband needed! Helps him get in and out of bed.
I found grab bars that were far below the "going" rate in other stores. I purchased it and had it mailed to another location. It arrived exactly as promised, on the date promised. When we needed to return the item, UPS picked it up on time, and issued a full refund immediately. I could not be happier. No muss, no fuss! Super customer service.
This worked well for my Elderly Mom. She didn't want Grab bars drilled into the wall. So this was a great solution. This could be used in an room near a bed or chair. Near a tub or toilet. Every nurse who came to tend to my Mom asked were it came from. So I showed them O.co . This could be a great temporary item for surgery patients also. I did think the handles were adjustable in height., not the case, but they do move to the left or right around the pole. Good item Helping Mom :)
I've found this piece of equipment to be very useful. Balance is an issue for me because of MS and it just makes life easier.
I like it , health care aids like it. My Dad (patient) is a little afraid of it yet. I have recomended it for my mother=in=law, also.

I'm using Berkeley DB XML 2.5.16 with Berkeley DB 4.8.30.Tom,
We recently added a new replicated persistent document type to our application and I'd like to understand if there is any performance advantage associated with the way we model the elements and sub-elements contained in a replicated persistent document.
Our application currently handles sub-element modifications by updating the top-level element associated with the sub-element. So my question is, if a top-level element is updated, how granular are the changes that get replicated to the replica sites in the replication group as a result of the update? In other words, if I retrieve a top-level element from the database, modify one of its sub-elements and then execute an update on the top-level element; does the entire top-level element get replicated to the replica sites or just the change(s) to the modified sub-element? If the entire top-level element gets sent, then it seems like it would be more efficient for us to model the sub-elements as top-level elements that contain a foreign key to their parent top-level element rather than modeling them as actual sub-elements. Would this improve the replication performance given the fact that our application treats a modification to a sub-element as an update to its top-level parent?

Olivocochlear Efferent Function
The inner ear receives an efferent innervation from the olivocochlear (OC) bundle that consists of two subsystems: medial (MOC) and lateral (LOC). The peripheral effects of the LOC system of unmyelinated fibers are unknown and the functional role of MOC fibers remain controversial; OC roles in selective attention, control of noise masking and protection from acoustic overexposure have been proposed.
We have also developed a variety of techniques for cochlear phenotypic analysis in the mouse including surgical techniques to activate MOC fibers directly in the brainstem of the mouse. Our current goal is to genetically dissect the role of different transmitters and receptors utilized by both the MOC and LOC systems by phenotypic analysis of carefully selected mutant mouse lines.

Carter County 10-11s succumb to JCN
By Tim Chambers
Carter County's quest to knock off a strong Johnson City National All-Star team didn't materialize Monday night in the 10-11 year-old district Little League tournament. One bad inning proved fatal in the American's 12-4 loss at Jim Ensor Field.
Johnson City used four hits and four walks in the second inning to break open a 1-1 ball game. CCALL's manager Terry Johnson felt like his team played well for five innings, but agreed the second one was too much for them to overcome.
"Tonight out kids learned about adversity — you can't win every game," said Johnson. "I expect them to bounce back. We played well except for the second inning. If the weather conditions had been a little different, who knows? It might have been a different outcome."

The Best Gluten-Free Cookbook Ever!

Posted by Reviewer1043520 From Colorado on Apr 24, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I borrowed this book from a friend and made a couple of recipes from it and fell in love with the it. I have been on a gluten-free diet for two years now and have been very disappointed with the quality and taste of any of the gluten-free foods on the market. I am now excited about cooking and eating again; that is how good these recipes are!
My new favorite cookbook!

I LOVE this cookbook! I have made several of the recipes already and they turned out so good! The chocolate chip cookies were chewy and moist and wonderful... even with no eggs! And so easy to make, too. The Banana cake with Coconut Frosting turned out great too! I am SO glad I bought this cookbook, I have already recommended it to several people!
some recipes okay

These recipes do not include eggs which is nice for people with allergies. However, the texture and stability of the end product is not always good and tends to fall apart or be too dense. She also uses TONS of agave syrup which I love but this and the almond flour result in very expensive baked goods.
excellent book

Though the recipes themselves are not stellar for flavor, the basic principles and ideas to build on are GREAT. I received much more than I hoped in this book, and will augment the flavors according to our family's taste. (My guess is that the author was writing a book for the basics, and the recipes and information contained in it open all kinds of doors for flavor experimentation.) Highly recommended.

We diverted a little south from it; however, we still got quite a show and a bit of a bumpy ride.

Travel Itinerary for Families
Darwin is loaded with fun and adventure, with more ideas to be found in our other Darwin travel itineraries.
Kids Just Love Darwin
Darwin is heaven on a stick for a family holiday. It has everything kids adore – thrilling outdoor adventures, close encounters with wildlife, swimming in picture-perfect lagoons, and great places to play and picnic.
First up should be a tour of Kakadu National Park. It's the ultimate history, art & geography lesson, and just gob-smacking amazing. The next 'must-do' is a cruise of the amazing Katherine Gorge. Or canoe it if your kids are up for it. Awesome!
Of course, top of the list for children are crocodiles. And there are great places to see them up close in Darwin, including:
- Crocodylus Park & Zoo has 100s of big salties, plus a mini zoo with lions and other big cats, monkeys and big birds such as cassowaries. Allow at least two hours. It's 15 minutes drive from your Vibe Hotel Darwin Waterfront.
Closer to home is …
- Crocosaurus Cove where you can cuddle baby crocs, and also get into your bathers and swim with them. It's also home to a massive aquarium and the world's largest display of Australian reptiles. In Mitchell Street, just 1.5km away from Vibe.
Next, how about a picnic, a swim, and a history lesson?
- East Point Reserve, Lake Alexander & Military Museum
This is a lovely safe spot to come to for a swim year-round. There's a playground, beautiful sea views, and picnic areas with BBQs, with a 1.5km mangrove boardwalk starting from the car park. In the evenings, wallabies come here to feed.
Check out the WW11 gun emplacements and Darwin Military Museum at the Northern side. Here they can learn all about the bombing of Darwin.
This beautiful park is about 9km from Vibe Hotel Darwin Waterfront. Drive, or get the bus.
On the way back to your Vibe Hotel, stop off at …
- Fannie Bay Gaol Museum
Another favourite with kids, this was Darwin's real jail from 1883 to 1979. It still has its gallows and the old cells, where they kept lepers, refugees and even naughty big children!
- *Darwin Waterfront *
There's lots to do here, including:
- The Wave Lagoon Pool is heaps of fun, with 10 different wave patterns to play in and surf.
- The Recreation Lagoon has a real sandy beach perfect for building sandcastles. It's a natural ecosystem complete with sea creatures and flora.
- Stokes Street Wharf. A great spot to throw a fishing line.
- Catch a movie under the stars at the Deckchair Cinema.
- Eat out every night
The kids will hoover up the delicious cheap eats at Mindil Beach Sunset Markets. They're just 5km from your Vibe Hotel. Drive or you can get the bus. And don't forget to take your rug!


text: Credit Toronto's contemporary art scene with paving the way for a surge of boundary pushers: geeked-out coffee brewers, molecular gastronomy-loving mixologists, indie designers, vintage buyers, and a local food movement that's putting the city on the culinary map. A true melting pot with distinct neighborhoods and disarmingly good-natured inhabitants, it charmed us in every way (except for the 13 percent sales tax we're willing to overlook). GPSThe best way to get to Toronto is on Porter Air: It flies directly into the city center, serves meals, and doesn't charge for carry-ons (what a concept). The Canadian airline departs from just a few U.S. cities, but more are on the way. We're partial to visiting during warmer months, when visitors can nix the subway or railcar for a sun-filled bike or stroll. Queen Street WestFilled with skinny-jeaned hipsters and arty intellectual types by day, clubbers and more hipsters by night, Queen Street West is an indie fantasyland. If you're traveling light, drop your bags at The Gladstone Hotel, an arty, gay-friendly boutique hotel. Rooms run small, and amenities are limited, but the price and location can't be beat. Up the street is the ritzier Drake Hotel, with just nineteen rooms, a buzzing rooftop bar, and addictive breakfast. Pick up charming housewares and antique curios at Art History; 69 Vintage sells everything from silk handkerchief scarves to killer boots. For drinks, Unit is the neighborhood's best-kept secret; there's no sign save for a rusty "Liquor" placard in the window. Deliciously scientific sips prevail at Barchef, a cocktail haven where easy-on-the-eyes owner Frankie Solarik pours drinks using dill bitters, organic smoked hickory syrup, and tomato caviar.OssingtonJust off of Queen Street West is Ossington Avenue, another hipster haunt with shops and eateries galore. Jonathan + Olivia is your contemporary go-to, full of Alexander Wang, A.P.C., even a Topshop collection. At mealtime, locals favor Pizzeria Libretto for crunchy, doughy Neapolitan pies and seasonal bruschetta. Neighboring Delux serves hearty, seasonal plates like lamb sausage with lima and fava beans, artichoke, and fenugreek. Nightlife is the right life in these parts. Start with a drink at Camp 4, a just-opened, come-as-you-are watering hole off the main strip on Dundas Street.DundasBarren in parts, bustling in others, Dundas isn't as much a hood as it is a drag that runs straight through the city. When hunger (or hangover) strikes, hit up Saving Grace (907 Dundas Street West; 416-703-7368) for flavorful, inventive brunch fare. Chalkboard specials can include anything from corn pancakes with blueberry maple syrup to flautas with fried lentils and chevre. Head east to Kensington Market, an amalgamation of outdoor vintage shops, cafes, and specialty food stores (don't miss new shop Pretty Freedom's acid-washed denim and floral rompers).RoncesvallesAt the south end of Roncesvalles, a tree-lined, slowly gentrifying Polish neighborhood, Easy Restaurant attracts weekend brunch masses with signature huevos divorciados, a heady mix of salsas, eggs, refried beans, and ancho jam. Get your caffeine fix with an espresso at Cherry Bomb Coffee (79 Roncesvalles Avenue; 416-516-8212) and sate your sweet tooth at Granowska's with a to-die-for plum-filled doughnut. Keep heading north for a mix of Polish bars, new cafes, and Asian grocers stocked with gleaming produce. Pick up gifts (cards, chocolates, syrups) at upscale general store The Mercantile.DowntownSpending time downtown (think skyscrapers and tourists) has its pleasures. Thompson has a rooftop pool and a 24-hour restaurant. Go big and go Gehry at the Art Gallery of Ontario — the design alone is worth a trip. Bata Shoe Museum houses thousands of kicks, from chestnut-crushing clogs from the 1800s to Hellstern and Sons pumps. Whet your appetite at St. Lawrence Market's two giant, warehouse-filled floors of food from around the globe; pick up a fried haddock sandwich from Buster's Sea Cove and picnic in nearby St. James Park (Jarvis Street, at King Street East). And though we hate to play favorites, dinner at Origin, a so-slick-you'd-never-know-it's-new restaurant from renowned chef Claudio Aprile, is our No. 1 pick, thanks to bold, bright dishes like shrimp ceviche with freeze-dried corn and a masterful mozzarella bar.Photos: Benson Kua / Flickr; Wil Macaulay / Flickr; Stu_spivack / Flickr; Michael Francis McCarthy / Flickr Up to 60% off Tom TomArchitect-turned-designer Elena Coleman knows how to construct a good accessory. Her badass-sweet jewelry collection, with a delightful combo of mixed-metal chains, buttons, and bows (plus a few hearts for you romantic types), is up to 60% off on Swirl.

One iPhone battery has no charge out of the box. And it turn out the battery drain out faster then the other iPhones (If you got in to this situation, you should return to Apple store b4 you try to unlock)
Three "Brand New" iPhones already has Activation file under /var/root/library/lockdown/ (You need to remove it to make youtube works.)
Just my 2cents
